A wealthy and eccentric widower,
living near Americas, went to town

The Valley River Mining Compa-
ny, who own the celebrated Marble
creek property, consisting of about
400 acres Of land three miles north
east Of Murphy, sold a majority of
their stock Zone share over half last
week at the rate Of 100000 for the
whole property. Some think this an
enormous price for this proper
| ty, but we think not, as it contains
fine iron, marble, tale and gold, be-
sides we are satisfied from our knowl-
edge of the property that it is rich
in argentiferous silver ores, which,
when properly developed, bids fair
to equal some Of the famous Cobra
, do and Montana silver mines which
are worth millions of dollars. Mr.
Phg BuHciia
Lafayette Messenger: "You can t
kill mule This saying was de-
monstrated almost to mathematical
certainty near Center's shop one day
last week. A colored boy was plow-
ing "g4oheFg" fer Mr., Center. In
the corner of the goober patch was
an old we'll at least 30 feet deep COW
cred with briars. In turning the
mule slipped in and went to the bot
tom. lie took his position 10 . SIT.
, ting posture and was the unwilling
, monarch of all he surveyed" until
r his excited owner summoned posse
r to bis aid A rope was tied around
, the body of tho mule ana lie wa5
drawn to the top Of the we'll The
rope broke and the mule again went
to the bottom of the we'll. A second
qttempt was successful. The mule
was safely landed on the OUTSIDE OF
the well, and contrary to the expec-
tation Of his rescuers, leaped to his
feet and without giving the slightest
expression OF gratitude commenced
feeding on the grass as though moth
ing had happened. The pillow gear
wa demolished and the old well was
slightly damaged.
